I didn't explain myself well enough , obviously all majorities aren't the same (I think you was just taking the word "majority" for it's pure meaning as opposed to trying to interprit what I was saying).
All the students, 90% of the school's population ("School population" including teachers,supervisors and other staff) can vote in favour of the school canteen being closed down , despite the vast number of people desiring a closure of the canteen their majority vote isn't as effective as say 75% of the teaching and supervisory staff wanting the canteen to remain open. 1% of the student's population's influence doesn't not equate to 1% of the staffs populations influence.
A student sais "i'm leaving, I hate your decision making" No problem
Member of staff sais " i'm leaving , I hatey you decision making" Problem , cost's of looking for new staff , arranging new staff time tables , possibility of putting more workload on other staff etc etc.
Society in in this modern day context has the power because democracy gave them that , the slave trade remained until the most powerful and influencial people didn't want it .
I made the assumption that you'd understand that I meant majoirty in the context of democratic decision making.
